This poem is very passionate and evokes emotions in the reader. This poem represents world leaders at their worst.
The poem Is spoken in a solemn voice and rightly so.
An excellent read.....what a poem!

I've got good news, and bad news. The good news is - you get five stars. The bad news is, even though this is doom and gloom, I've got to unload one on you, D... "May your platform shoes fail you in a camel pasture."

Yes, Dip, the world is stunned that North Korea tested a hydrogen bomb underground. Trump threatens retaliation. These are frightening times, as your poem warns:

Don't they know the consequences?
Can't they see the effect
We must charge them with these offences
For neither of them are correct

Your poem goes on to demand world peace now before it is too late. The prognosis between the two leaders looks dismal, as you conclude:

The world watches on with a slim hope
That both will come to their senses
We are sitting on a downhill slope
Hoping for better circumstances

Thank you for sharing and even more for caring.

I keep saying nothing's going to happen. If it does, it won't be Trump to starts it.

If it does start, we can't expect the U.S. to back down. I'm going to be sitting on the porch with my popcorn and wait for the end. 8-)

Yes it certainly is a worry and you've highlighted it nicely in your poem. The most powerful country in the world and arguably the most frightening country in the world. Or should I say the leaders of both. I don't think Donald will initiate WW111 but he certainly won't back down from it. Terrifying really. Great poem. PM

A very well-written poem. The world situation seems to be in a state of disaster and self destruction. There is not much we can do than to trust and repent so that our souls don't end up in hell.

    We all going to die one or other time. The question is are we ready to take our souls to heaven or hell. I for one try to reach the heaven goal.

Not sure where it will end but I hope to be in the wine cellar getting blind when it does LOL

I hate the scourge of evil that threatens mankind, peace and the world today as we know it.

It's NEVER too late for diplomacy because it's pretty hard to retract a nuclear attack once it starts.

Boy are we in for some shit flying.

Hydrogen bomb? WTF?!!!

A solid write dip, in touch with the angst we all feel while certain dickheads get trigger happy trying to say who's got a bigger penis.

For chrissake. Just get them out, do the show and tell and lets kiss and make up.

For what it's worth, I reckon they are both about the same size. Small.

It's their gonads that seem to be doing all the talking LOL

Wow what a wonderful ABAB and a great message but not only the two but the other ones that back them individually...it is not a win situation.
